Cruise Tip: Port side vs Starboard

When selecting a cabin or suite on a cruise ship, the layout and size are generally consistent regardless of whether it is on the port or starboard side. However, the views can vary significantly.

For round-trip sailings, both sides of the ship will typically offer good views at different times. In contrast, on one-way cruises, one side may offer superior views while the other side may not.

For instance, on a northbound one-way cruise along the Alaskan coastline, a stateroom on the starboard (right) side of the ship will provide views of the shoreline. Conversely, on a southbound cruise, a port (left) side stateroom is preferable for shoreline views.

It is important to note that cabins with the best views often come at a higher cost.

Additionally, if you are interested in sunrise or sunset views, consider the direction of travel and the position of the sun. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Therefore, on a northbound cruise, a starboard side cabin will offer sunrise views, while a port side cabin will provide sunset views. On a southbound cruise, the opposite applies.

Work from sea: Virgin Voyages brings remote friendly summer season pass to second ship.

“No longer does working from home mean being tied to a desk or home office and eating leftovers for lunch,” Virgin Voyages CEO Nirmal Saverimuttu previously said in a news release when the first pass was launched. “With our latest WiFi upgrades, Virgin Voyages can now offer our Sailors the chance to see the world while working from a daybed at The Dock (outdoor lounge) and sampling Mediterranean mezzes, then hopping off the ship in between calls to make the most of our incredible ports of call.”

What are the terms of Virgin’s Summer Season Pass?
The passes for Resilient Lady are available in three stints of four cruises each:

June 2-30
June 30-July 28
July 7-Aug. 4
Destinations include the islands of Santorini and Mykonos, Dubrovnik, Croatia, Bodrum in Turkey, and Kotor, Montenegro, though exact itineraries vary by sailing.

How much does Virgin’s Summer Season Pass cost?
The pass starts at $9,990 for up to two guests, a savings of roughly 30% compared to booking four sailings separately. Passholders will stay in a Central Sea Terrace cabin with a private balcony.

They will also get complimentary wash and fold laundry service, access to Richard’s Rooftop – usually reserved for suite guests – a $10 daily coffee credit per cabin and more.
